I don't have an opinion on this particular issue (Lauda has many good ratings, but also several that seem too trigger-happy), but I have been getting very annoyed about how centralized the trust system is. The reason that I made it a complicated trust network instead of a centralized list/database is so that it'd be decentralized and subjective.
I've been seriously thinking about reopening the idea of enforcing user-defined trust lists via suggestions, etc., deprecating DefaultTrust.

Whatever you do people will just complain about it. I don't think I've ever seen a feedback system that really works fairly and is always just abused by scammers.
So what do you suggest? Remove the Trust system completely? There needs to be some sort of mutual consensus system so that newbies who come here know whom to listen to - being new and unexperienced. Over time they will gain experience but every new person here needs guidance. True scammers will always lurk here and everyone should be careful themselves - because the Trust is subjective
Keep the system we currently have. 99% of people who get tagged with negative feedback deserve it, but of course when it happens to them they kick up a fuss about. I'm all for people disputing any feedback received but anybody who was abusing it would likely be removed from DT pretty fast but this rarely happens.

Scammers and unscrupulous people make the most amount of noise once they're busted because you've taken away their source of income. QS has probably been badgering the people who have just excluded Lauda for quite some time until they acquiesced to his demands.
It still bugs me that those people even listen to someone like QS. It only makes them more towards the untrustworthy scale. Someone needs to judge the way they decide (the DT). Simply because QS has/had successful trades with them does not make QS their "Close trusty pal" - and other references against QS suggest something totally different.Anyone can do a few trades or make themselves out to be trustworthy and that's what QS was doing. It wouldn't surprise me if he was just here for the long con from the start but I certainly don't trust him because of his behaviour and due to how he's conducted himself since his fall from grace (which was entirely his own fault due to his fragile ego and pathetic grudges). His level of butthurt borders on mental illness and it's clear he won't stop until he feels like he gets his revenge and comeuppance and this thread is further proof of it.
QS and his ego every morning:
